Our verdict

Supabase is the backend most AI app builders reach for: Postgres plus auth, storage, realtime and edge functions, with first-class integrations in Lovable, Bolt and v0. It's open source and portable, so you aren't locked in. Pro starts at $25 but compute is billed per project, and getting row-level security right matters for safety. For vibe coders, it's the clear backend recommendation.
